Port settings for HP MA and EMA systems
Port settings are configurable at the port level.
Restriction: Only one port per HSG80 pair can be used with the Storwize® V3500 system.
The port settings are set using the following commands:
- SET THIS PORT_1_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
- SET THIS PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
- SET OTHER PORT_1_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
- SET OTHER PORT_2_TOPOLOGY=FABRIC
These values can be checked using the following commands:
- SHOW THIS
- SHOW OTHER
Table 1 lists the HSG80 controller port settings that the Storwize V3500 system supports:
Option | HSG80 default setting | Storwize V3500 required setting |
---|---|---|
PORT_1/2-AL-PA | 71 or 72 | Not applicable |
PORT_1/2_TOPOLOGY | Not defined | FABRIC |
Note: The HP MA and EMA systems support LUN masking that is configured with the SET
unit number ENABLE_ACCESS_PATH command. When used with the Storwize V3500 system, the access path must be set to
all (SET unit number ENABLE_ACCESS_PATH=ALL). All LUN masking
must also be handled exclusively by the Storwize V3500 system. You can use the SHOW
CONNECTIONS FULL command to check access rights.
